Good morning all, I hope everyone has a great day.

My mission today is to research the best way to secure my fiberglass quarter panels so they dont wavy at me when I drive it.

I also need to get all new wheels (these came with it) these are 15x15x7.5 b/s I can stick a 9" tire between the inner qtr. and the slick

































YES IM AT WORK

Good morning Phil,

Did you check into that bonding agent they use on Corvettes? Vettebond I think it's called.

I hear that, my frame rails are 20 7/8 wide, I could run your tire and wheel combo.

The best thing I have found is called WestSystems. It is made in BayCity and can be bought at any Marine supply.

I patched a mounting hole in the side of my van when I first got it. When we cut the roof off during the chop, we cut right thru the patch, with the sawsall and it never cracked.

It is a 2 part Epoxy and they make fillers to mix with it. You can thicken it to whatever you want.

Oh no you didn't, :lol: this guy I got the car from rigged up this quick framing to hold the quarters and the deck pins (gone) until he could figure out how he wanted to secure them.

I will be fabing some struts (I think) from the rear crossmember to the qtr. pnl. in a few places. I also plan on fabing a DZUS rail for the deck lid and hood to both sit on instead of having DZUS mounting brackets every 8 -10 inches.
